Broken screen I have had the Olympus FE 190 since May 2007. At the moment, the screen is broken. It appears to have some physical damage, but since I bought a protective case, I can't think of how it would happen. when the camera is off, you can see a large darker spot on the screen. when turned on, the top half of the screen is white, with the large black spot running through. there also seems to be a lighter thin line in the spot. the bottom half of the screen is fine and ready to take a

Screen damage? no problems in two years until today after shooting several "best shot" in monochrome, then returning to regular shooting position in color. no drops ever and only gentle usage. I turned it off and put camera away, then on turning it back on, the LED screen displays one-third solid white, one-third grey and only one third (bottom) of actual image. it also has an odd black "lips" image across the middle of top half. various colored lines across the bright part. I took battery out f

I own a Canon GL2 Video Camcorder.
While in the Camera Position, it appears on the view screen two horizontal white lines, one on top (1/4" from the top) and the other on the bottom of the screen about 1/4" from the bottom. Even though it does not affect the end result. It makes it very difficult to film as the lines don't allow me to center (align properly) the subject I want to film. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

I currently have a Canon 40D, the problem is...
1)When I take pictures, the bottom 4/5th of the screen is cut off, as in it is black. But the top will show the picture
2)The Liveview function works, but the bottom 4/5th of the screen is also still black

My Cannon Power shot SX120 is less than a year old, I havent dropped or otherwise abused it. One moment the camera was fine, the next moment it has really bad horizontal lines in the pictures. The closer you zoom the worse the lines are. The lines cover the entire picture from top to bottom. I have tried replacing the batteries with fresh ones, even tried a different memory card..nothing seems to help.

Have you tried to reset to original settings in the setup window. I would try that maybe..If that doesn't work then its probably an issue with your sensor unit which is apart of your lens. ...

I've recently noticed a wide dark horizontal line approx 1/4 of the way down from the top of my screen display. The camera is kept in my home office, has not been dropped, gotten wet or exposed to extreme temps or humidity. The still photos come out fine but the videos I take have the line going through them. I played with it this evening and notice that the line moves down to about 1/4 of the way up from the bottom of the screen when I press the shutter in picture mode and stays there while

When taking a picture with my REBEL EOS the image display only shows the top half and the bottom portion is black. When I download the images they only show the top portion that was seen in the image display. Anyone else had this problem? Any help appreciated.

My Sanyo camera has 2 black dots (like polka dots) on the screen and a black line at the bottom. They don't affect the picture but is a problem when trying to focus the camera.

Hello Kitomari4OK, the fact that you only notice the the lines and spots on the lcd itself, means that the lcd itself is damaged. This is most likely due to an internal crack on the lcd. I would suggest you get the screen replaced at your ...

The LCD monitor on my SD 200 is not functioning. When the camera is turned on the screen is bright amd shows vertical

C643 The screen has a black spot in the lower right corner and will not light up.It has not been dropped or mishandled. Working fine and then this black ghost showed up with the camera turned off. Batteries are up. Before it quit completely it had a very thin lighted line at the bottom of the lcd.I have only taken about ten pictures with this camera.

When I turn on my camera and look through the window, there is a line of light glowing from the top to the bottom of the screen. It affects my pics as the light is in the pictures. It looks like a light inside the actual window. Also, there are horizontal lines that flash on and off in the scrren, can't figure out why.
